The Axial path offers a place to rest while still maintaining a sense of crispness and structure. While the path to the door still leads you straight, there’s a smaller path that runs perpendicular to it. Very often there is a pot or a bench at the end of the smaller path, which acts as a focal feature. This type of path adds more interest to the garden, since now there’s someplace else to go and something else to see. This style path breaks the garden into four spaces, which gives it a nice symmetry and balance. It also allows a space in the center of the path for a fountain or some other focal feature.
